FBI Nominee Kash Patel Sparks Debate Over Transparency Promises Kash Patel, nominated to lead the FBI, has made headlines with bold pledges to address lingering questions about major events, including the January 6 Capitol riot and the Trump assassination attempt. In recent interviews, Patel vowed to deliver a "definitive answer" on January 6, emphasizing transparency by stating, "You're going to know everything we know." He also criticized former FBI Director James Comey, rejecting Comey's advice on running the agency. Patel's comments on border security, including a call for swift deportations, and his remarks on foreign policy, particularly regarding Canada, have stirred controversy. Some question his past statements on high-profile cases like the Epstein case and the JFK assassination, fueling polarized discussions about his suitability for the FBI role.
